Important
• A locked disc can still be initialized (which will
completely erase the disc).
Note
• You cannot change the lock setting for a disc if the TV
line system of the disc is different to the current
setting of the system. See
Input Line System
on
page 102 for how to change the system’s setting.
Initialize settings
You can initialize a DVD-RW disc for either VR mode
recording or Video mode recording. The first time you
load a new DVD-RW disc, it will be automatically
initialized for recording according to the DVD-RW Auto
Init. setting in the Initial Setup menu (see page 111).
The initialize menu here lets you reinitialize a disc, for
example if you want to change the recording format of
the disc. See
Initializing a DVD-RW disc
on page 59 for
detailed instructions.
HDD Initialize
When your system is working without a problem this
option is not visible in the Disc Setup menu. However, if
the HDD file system becomes corrupted for some reason,
you initialize the HDD to fix the problem. Note that
initializing the HDD will erase all the data on it.
•
Select ‘Initialize HDD’ from the disc Setup menu.
• Select ‘Start’ to initialize.
Finalize settings
Finalize
Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc
can be played on a regular DVD player or computer
equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.
See
Playing your recordings on other DVD players
on
page 58 for detailed instructions.
Undo Finalize
You can undo the finalization on DVD-RW discs recorded
on this system in Video mode. You need to do this if you
want to record more material or edit material already on
the disc.
You can also undo the finalization of VR mode discs
which have been finalized on other DVD recorders. If
when you load a disc the message
This disc cannot be
recorded. Undo the finalization
is displayed, use this
command to be able to record on the disc using this
system.
1
From the Disc Setup menu, select ‘Finalize’, then
‘Undo Finalize’ from the finalize options.
2
Select ‘Start’.
Note
• You cannot finalize a disc or use the Undo Finalize
command if the TV line system of the disc is different
to the current setting of the system. See
Input Line
System
on page 102 for how to change the system’s
setting.
